Ross Burton d2b17a0db7 cve-exclusion: review the last of the historical kernel CVEs
Review the last of the historical kernel CVEs.  Issues which are
specific to other platforms or distributions are ignored in the kernel
recipe itself, whereas general security concerns like "ICMP leaks
information" and "USB has flaws" are ignored with more details in the
extra-exclusions file as before.

# This file contains a list of CVE's where resolution has proven to be impractical
# or there is no reasonable action the Yocto Project can take to resolve the issue.
# It contains all the information we are aware of about an issue and analysis about
# why we believe it can't be fixed/handled. Additional information is welcome through
# patches to the file.
#
# Include this file in your local.conf or distro.conf to exclude these CVE's
# from the cve-check results or add to the bitbake command with:
# -R conf/distro/include/cve-extra-exclusions.inc
#
# The file is not included by default since users should review this data to ensure
# it matches their expectations and usage of the project.

# We may also include "in-flight" information about current/ongoing CVE work with
# the aim of sharing that work and ensuring we don't duplicate it.

The issue here is spoofing of domain names using characters from other character sets. \
There has been much discussion amongst the epiphany and webkit developers and \

there is unlikely ever to be a single fix to webkit or epiphany which addresses this \
problem. There isn't any mitigation or fix or way to progress this further."
